As we head into Grammy weekend and the one-year anniversary of Whitney Houston's Feb. 11 death, Madame Tussauds New York has unveiled four wax figures of the singer.

The likenesses, shown off Thursday in Manhattan, represent Houston in four different points of her life. They will be installed in Madame Tussauds attractions in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

"They're amazing. They're beautiful," said Pat Houston, Whitney's sister-in-law who was also her manager, reports the Daily News.

"If she could step down here and be alive and really feel what's happening right now she would thank and appreciate everyone in this room," said Gary Houston, Whitney's brother. "I'm saying it for her, I know she loves and appreciates everything that's going on here today."

Whitney's mom, Cissy, also attended the event. Missing: Whitney's daughter, Bobbi Kirstina Brown. "For Krissy this is a bit much, to see figures of her mother," Pat said. "It's tough enough for her, and we didn't want to pressure her into making a decision to come."
